Teston Bridge Country Park is one of the best places to enjoy a rural riverside walk in Kent. Focused around the historical bridge, the park also offers a play area and plenty of idyllic picnic spots.

The current lock was built in 1911 to replace the original made of oak and constructed in the 1740s

Tutsham Mill, also known as West Farleigh Oil Mill, is situated at Teston Lock on the River Medway. It was a water-powered oil seed cake mill, originally of the 19th century. John Rennie is reputed to have built it in 1808. The first known operators were Startup and Philpott from about 1839 onwards. In 1847 the mill was taken over by Thomas Boorman. It became Boorman, Wild and Co., operated by Robert Manning Hayman in 1862. Robert Leigh of Barham Court installed Anglo Machinery for a short while. It was leased by the Stewart Brothers from 1882 and by Spencer of Strood from 1884 to 1885. The mill was partly destroyed by fire in 1889 and is now ivy-covered ruins, which are still visible.

On either side of Bow Hill Bridge, boats are moored up in the marinas. The location is ideal being not far from the tidal Medway. On the west side, at Medway Wharf Marina is the Rambler's Rest Cafe. A perfect waterside pitstop.

Tutsham Hall Farm is easily recognisable by the white peaks of the two Oast Houses, iconic Kent landmarks. They were converted into accommodation in c.2008/9. The Hall is a grade II listed building from the 19th century. An older mansion once stood here but it was demolished in the 18th century by the owner of nearby Teston Hall, Elizabeth Bouverie, so that the ruins were part of her view across the river. Hikes around here take in the wide vistas and lush green countryside that were so admired by Bouverie.

Plenty of single and double track trails if you look for them them. Large well surfaced bridleway runs through and around a portion of the woods. Can easily link up with Cattering Wood and on to the larger Mereworth Woods via Kings Hill from here.
